YEARN FOR THE LORD!
Stella Dhinakaran
How many of us live in fear today? Fear freezes you into a position from where you are unable to progress towards your God-given destiny. However, there are two kinds of fear, one from the devil which binds you into a state of hopelessness and despair; the other from the Lord God Jehovah which sets you free into an eternal life of holiness, obedience, and glory.
One thing that pleases the Lord greatly is a family that seeks Him diligently. Martha, Mary and Lazarus were completely in love with the Lord Jesus and sought Him with all their hearts. When you do the same, the Lord of salvation will walk into your families too. His Holy Spirit will make His presence known to you. Joy and strength will be yours for the asking.
I Corinthians 13:10 says, But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. The disciples were an extremely fearful and insecure lot. They were not bold and courageous and nurtured unwanted thoughts. But look at the divine experience they received in the Bible Chapter of Acts 2 when they received the Holy Spirit. When you have a heart that yearns and hungers for the Lord, He Himself will give you this experience (John 14:16; 15:26; Luke 24:29).
The Holy Spirit will empower you to endure the toughest of storms in your life. The devil can never stand against you. He is a defeated one.
In the Bible, we read about a woman called Deborah, a prophetess, who was filled with the glory of God. The Lord will also set your hearts on fire for Him and fill you with His grace to shine for Him as His witnesses, especially, before your families. So, commit your lives to the Lord today. This is what the Bible assures you in Colossians 1:27, To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus, I commit my life to you. Fill me with the anointing of the Holy Spirit and give me the grace and strength to fulfill Your will. Fill me with the Holy Spirit in an immeasurable way. Bless my life in order that my family and I would become witnesses for You. Set our hearts on fire for You that we may arise and shine for You in this world. Let Your kingdom come and will be done, O Lord. Thank You Master!
In the name of Jesus
Amen!
